3/19/12, "Fighting Back in the War on Free Speech," Pamela Geller, Yahoo Contributor Network

"Free speech is under attack worldwide, and the attack is growing in virulence. But now a new international organization is fighting back.

Back in December, the United Nations passed Resolution 16/18, with the backing of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The stated goal of the resolution was to "combat intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization of discrimination, incitement to violence, and violence against persons based on religion or belief," but this is all just smoke and mirrors. In fact, this resolution is designed to restrict truthful speech about Islamic supremacy and jihad, so as to render the West mute and defenseless before the advancing threat of jihad and Sharia.

Those who assume that the First Amendment will protect us from this are whistling in the dark. The First Amendment doesn't work automatically. And if you think that Constitutional Amendments can't be restriction and essentially legislated out of existence, try buying a handgun in New York City. Legally, that is.

But now a new organization is fighting back against this assault on our most fundamental freedom. The first session of the International Freedom Defense Congress, the operating body of the human rights organization "Stop Islamization of Nations" (SION), will be held in New York on September 11, 2012. The principal focus of the Congress will be a media workshop addressing Islamic supremacist attempts to restrict the freedom of speech in the free world, and the smear campaigns against freedom fighters in newspapers and media institutions in the West."...(more at link and at Atlas Shrugs)
